Fair Warning to California



It seems that the entire Peljesac peninsula that Trstenik and Orebic are on is being planted with grapes. We have really enjoyed the fantastic wines that are being produced not only in Croatia, but Montenegro and Macedonia as well. I wish I could bring back a case of Plantaze wine from Montenegro. Poslip wines from Croatia are really, really good, too. In Trstenik is the Grgic winery and we went for a wine tasting when we were there last summer. Some of you in California may be aware of Grgic wines as Miljenko Grgic started a winery in northern California many years ago after working for Robert Mondavi for a time when he was a young man. He returned to his native Croatia in the mid 1990's and opened a winery on the hillside right above Trstenik.
Just a couple of photos you might enjoy. Wish you could enjoy the wine! When I get back to California next week I will try to find the time to shop for wine from this region.
